C&C Total Annihilation
This is a mod for the FPS Command & Conquer game called C&C Renegade. Renegade was released in the year of 2002 (26th of February). Renegade is a pretty old game, currently 4 years old. But soon it'll be 5 years old! Now this game is pretty easy to modify, and I'm learing 3D Modeling at the moment at my spare time. As it is what I want to work with when I get older. I started this modification because I thought it sounded like a great project to train my 3D Modeling skills on. As well as I'll get better knowledge about how Renegade works. So I thought I'll combine my 2 favorite games: Command & Conquer Renegade and Total Annihilation.
Total Annihilation was released 1997 (30th of September) and developed by Cavedog wich was owned by GT Interactive. GT Interactive was purchased by Infogrames and the Cavedog label was discarded by Humongous Entertainment. Total Annihilation is an Futuristic RTS game wich contain huge battles between the rivals ARM and CORE. The game contains units as Tanks, VTOL's and K-Bots (Kinetic Bio In-Organic Technology).
Now there you had some info about the 2 games I will use. Now time for some information about the mod.
This mod will contain most of the units wich was included in Total Annihilation, that means the ARM Flash, ARM PeeWee, CORE Crusher and CORE Goliath. Now it won't be possible to make the PeeWee shoot from both arms, thats extremley sad I know. But it just can't be done. At least what I know of it won't be possible. As the K-Bots will replace the infanties, wich can only have one gunbone. Also weapons may only have one muzzle. But it might be possible via fire animation, not sure tho.
This is currently an modification for C&C Renegade. I will mail EA Games after I made some progress and after I released the Demo Beta / Full Beta. Hopefully they'll give me permission to make this modification an Total Conversion (Standalone). Wich means you will NOT need an original copy of C&C Renegade to play. Just download and play. Also this mod is laying in the hands of Infogrames at the moment, as I'll need to ask for permission to make copys of their models as well as for using some of their logos and other stuff.
Introduction Movie:
The introduction movie wich will be played at the start of the game is being worked on by me, it will contain: C&C, TA, Metal. No more spoilers for ye!

Ok I planned to surprise you guys with releasing an Beta for christmas or the 1st of January 2008. But unfourtnley that's not going to happen. Sorry to inform you but I got so much to do, I gotta model lots of CORE models and texture them. Most ARM are made (I made a few wich I havn't even posted here). Also my ARM Metal Storage .max file have stopped working I get an error when I'm trying to open it. But I will fix it.
Well enough of half-off topic.
You maybe want to see what will be in the Beta well here you have:
2 Maps, one wich is made from Total Annihilation. And 1 from my fantasy.
ARM Vehicles; Flash, Samson, Stumpy and a few more.
CORE Vehicles; Instigator, Raider and a few more.
ARM K-Bots; This may not be implemented, maybe as vehicles.
CORE K-Bots; Same here. There MAY be a chance that they'll replace current infantry.
ARM Buildings; LLT, Defender, ARM Vehicle Plant and more!
CORE Buildings; LLT, GAAT Gun, Pulveriser and more!
A few in-game texture replacements (menus and such).
Name replacements, icon replacements and name replacements.

i know its a bit late to be suggesting a name change for this mod, but C&C total annihilation is just... to long and simple. maybe something like
"Command And Annihilate" would sound better
Yeah... I'll see about that in the future. Once again I'm busy with studies and an barley work on this Mod.
I'm trying to get my hands on some sort of Memory Stick/DVD to make a Back-up of the already existing Models & Texures.
Looks like I'll have to do yet another reinstallation of my PC very soon.
Yummy yummy yummmy! I've made most models all over again (Sigh...) and I'll upload some pictures soon.
cool, will this be ready by 2010?
it sounds like a good idea, and i would help, but i am horrible with modeling. i also noticed you dont have an official website that works (that i know of). if you want, i could host a sub-domain for you at ssigaming.net hosting details: subdomain, free, FTP access
Ready for 2010, ouch! You really hit my soft spot.
To be honest, I doubt it. I've got just to much studies to take care of, fortunatley it's my last year. Then I'll be free for a few months.
Though, who knows. I might be able to throw out a Beta before 2010, I'll just have to work like never before(Working Vehicles, Structures and Defences won't be hard for a Beta. K-Bots and Scripts are the biggest delay!).
I used to have a page hosted by my Ex-Group 'Black Shark Studios' which had to close. I really appreciate your offer with hosting a Website, but I don't feel like it's necessary for now, I don't feel like wasting your time.
But, I do appreciate the offer. :)
okay then. feel free to email me or something if you need it later =o
when does it come out???
An release date for the Beta have not yet been decided. Lots of models to be done, and textures.
What I'm most worried about is the coding, as I have no knowledge of coding at all...
Theres already a completely TA Mod (FPS) just type in Total Annihilation on Wiki. ;)
You're probably talking about Spring 3D, which is not a FPS.
